As you know, Kevin, a group of donors have offered to match all Giving Tuesday gifts made to Greenpeace before midnight tonight, up to a total of $83,000. If you give $50, it could become $100. If you give $250, it could become $500.

That $166,000 will be used to push the CEOs of Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Nestle, Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Starbucks, and McDonald’s to stop producing single-use plastic packaging that often ends up in our oceans.

And did you know, Kevin, that the equivalent of one garbage truck of plastic enters the ocean every minute, every day, all year long. Corporations sell us products in plastic packaging that are meant to be used for minutes, but they last a lifetime or longer. If current trends continue, scientists estimate that by the year 2050 there could be more plastic in the ocean than fish!

It will be used to prevent Congress from handing over our lands and waters to oil companies for them to drill and spill on, with fewer protections for communities and wildlife.

It will be used to hold polluters like ExxonMobil accountable by exposing the colossal climate denial scheme to deliberately deceive the public — even though it knew the science and dangers of climate change for decades.

It will be used to spur action on climate change, and put our country back on the path toward solving the problem instead of making it worse.
